STRUCT MEI_CL_VTAG(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct mei_cl_vtag(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for struct mei_cl_vtag, which is literally the file pointer to vtag mapping structure. yes, that's the whole NAME vibe. it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct mei_cl_vtag {
    struct list_head list;
    const struct file *fp;
    u8 vtag;
    u8 pending_read:1;
 };

that's it, that's the whole struct. four members. no cap. look at that bitfield though β€” one single bit for pending_read, she's ✨frugal✨ πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • list β€” her link in the map queue, i.e. how she gets chained up with all her little struct friends πŸ¦‹
  • fp β€” the file pointer. literally the whole point of her existence 🫢
  • vtag β€” the corresponding vtag. matching vibes only πŸ’–
  • pending_read β€” a u8 bitfield of width 1 that says whether the read is pending on this file. she's just sitting there waiting, main character energy tbh 😭

so like, this struct lives in the kernel file ./drivers/misc/mei/mei_dev.h and honestly you should go read all her neighbors too, they're iconic πŸ‘‘:
